Unsustainable consumerism is a big part of this problem and if we continue to give them even more money to lobby against us, we have already lost.
The belief that consumer habits don’t need to change and that everything can be solved by just voting for the right party every 4 years is not based in reality. I wish it was this easy.
If people buy and drive gas cars when they don’t have to, they are perpetuating the fossil fuel industry. If people choose to buy factory farmed products, they are funding factory farming with their money.
The sustainable options like electric cars and plant based alternatives also need demand to compete with the much more destructive counterparts. We have to push for the solutions, not finance the problems.
Can you think of a more profit-friendly message than “Just keep on consuming more, it’s fine, don’t question the consequences, keep up the status quo”? I can’t.
